Discussion Blog: Eric's Hair Debate?

I was looking at the new images from Season 5, and something occurred to me. In the flashback picture of Eric (Victorian Era), he has short hair. However; in Season 1 of True Blood, his hair is long. In season 2, Pam has to cut it short- the style Eric has now maintained. Is this a mistake/goof on the writers part, or can vampires in the True Blood world grow their hair, nails, etc again once it has been cut? I remember Claudia in Interview with a Vampire- her hair would instantly grow back if she cut it...she couldn't change. Hmmm?

Thoughts?

Eric Season 1

Eric as human, JUST before turning vampire with same long hair

Eric Season 5 (flashback to Victorian Era has short hair, as in Season 2-5)
